CHAPTER THREE
From the confines of his office window, the Headmaster surveyed the influx of new pupils to his school. Amongst them, there seemed to be several intelligent looking children, with the rest being average, according to his always correct opinion.
Yet what made him gleeful the most, was that he recognised one of his new pupils.
There in the crowd, was Lloyd Hunter.
No longer four years old, tall, lithe and still styled with those red curls.
Wondering if he was still a brat, the Headmaster chuckled to himself as he mused:
'So, the first of the Hunter brothers has arrived at St Champions. What a MARVELLOUS day this shall be. Lloyd has arrived here, only to be put under my control. Yes… I cannot wait for him to come into my office."
Two minutes after a thoroughly confused Lloyd Hunter had departed from the office, the Headmaster was still seated in his chair, glasses once again concealing his green eyes. He was utterly outraged, his fingers gripping the arms of his office chair, an indication of his anger.
Lloyd Hunter was Immune.
IMMUNE!
Never before had an Immune graced St Champions with their presence. It was true that he had encountered Immunes before, but never in his own school.
Growling under his breath, the Headmaster unclenched his hands and brought them up to his desk, where he slammed them down seconds later onto the surface.
As Ian Robinson strolled along towards the Headmaster's office, the man himself massaged his temple with his fingers, attempting to will away the growing head-ache.
A few years later, and the second Hunter brother had now joined his school.
The Headmaster gazed out of his office window, lip curling at the sight of the three troublemakers. Although when his gaze landed on the youngest Hunter, a smirk formed on his face.
Even from the first look of him, the Headmaster could tell that Harvey Hunter was still weak and little. In fact, he could still be classed as a baby, despite being well out of toddlerhood.
Being physically weak would hinder his plans, but being susceptible to his power, now that was what mattered. The eldest Hunter boy may not be under his control, but if his little brother was….
The Headmaster's smirk broadened as his gaze followed Harvey Hunter, who was scuttling after his big brother, throwing everyone a nervous glance. The tuft of fair hair had sprouted all over, covering his forehead and stopping just short of the back of his neck. The boy was short, and bulkier compared to his brother. Definitely less confident than Lloyd, judging by the wary look he was sending everyone. Although Lloyd Hunter was a cocky and arrogant child…
Stepping away from the window, the Headmaster sat down in his chair, a frown crossing his narrow, pale face. Confidence flooded through him, but a hint of doubt had crept into his mind. For what if Harvey Hunter wasn't susceptible? What if, like Lloyd, he was Immune?
The Headmaster hoped that this would not be true, and as he waited for his first victim to arrive, he unknowingly crossed his fingers on his right hand.
Straight after a bemused Harvey Hunter had walked out of the office, the Headmaster was close to tearing the room apart. Like he had feared, Harvey Hunter was IMMUNE!
After a few minutes, the Headmaster managed to control his anger and started to prepare for the next pupil. Yet he knew, to his great shame and humiliation, that he would NEVER be able to fully control the Hunter brothers to do his bidding.
All he could do was scare, isolate and seek revenge on the brothers, as well as the other Immune children that tarnished his school.
Until they left St Champions of age, they were stuck under his reign, Immune or not.
